Tater - they have to dig way out to see because the environmentalists won't allow them to work "offshore" - where its alot shallower and easier to reach. Sure, the same thing could happen - but at 500 feet its alot easier to deal with than at 5000....
In many ways - environmentalists own a share of the blame here - but you will never see em accept it.
